Agreed, Sheela I think that was how it started. From what we've already seen though, I would definitely say it is no longer simply the easy path. In fact with the feelings Miraiko and Julia have for one another it has made it one of the HARDEST paths. The one with the biggest reward for the both of them, if they can pull it off.
While we don't know the full story of the Luna Star one thing is clear to me. If it wasn't for Galina Kotko, there would not be much left of humanity. I'm getting the feeling that she gave mankind a chance to survive into the future. How remains to be seen.
Most armour has much more exacting wear instructions than loose clothing because it involves multiple layers and a mixture of rigid, semi-rigid and flexible parts in contrast to normal clothing. If there's enough layers involved there might be a dang HV/AC unit at work that needs system tests instead of just passive gaps in the weave for sweat/evaporation.
Also, this is just a guess but perhaps for stealth's sake he's dressing up as one of those red-suited stormtroopers.
I imagine Rose took Kyle's familiarity (or total lack of) into what is given to him, anonymous. I would think from now on, he shouldn't need too much armor. It is Kyle though, so I guess we'll wait and see.
Nice little touch with his chest. The wounds look like they're still healing while they talk. Started off as angry red holes 3 pages ago, and now they're scars with.... crop circles around them as the nanites move around.
I'm sure there's been other references to the spin off comic here before, but I think this might be the first direct Luna Star mentioning (as it actually saying its name).
I'm surprised you are surprised, DLK. On the page Bearer of good news from 5 March 2014 she gives her name as Miraiko Yukimura. Which catt pointed out in the comments might make her Kiku's descendant. Which wasn't confirmed or denied by the evil duo at the time (though I think CentComm hinted at it).
Now we have confirmation. So give catt a gold star. :-)
all I gotta say is...when this is all over......If rose breaks up Mirako and Julia... I am going to make it my mission in life to Keep her three assistants So drunk she never gets a moments rest!
Actually, I kind of doubt that Rose is going to break up the relationship for Julia and Miraiko. She gave Miraiko permission to attempt to recruit Julia, lay her cards on the table. So I kind of take that as Rose APPROVING of the relationship.
Right before they kill Decimus they should cover Kyle in flour then have him walk into the room and say "oooo I am the ghost of Kyle McFuckface." with his arms stretched straight out in front of him and wiggling his fingers.
Best case scenario? Decimus dies with turd in his pants.
Worst case scenarion? Kyle gets another 3 ripper rounds to the chest.
If you ask me it's win-win.
*pays no attention to the vaguely recognized Dune reference and instead jumps on the much-more-obvious-to-her Hellsing reference* are you saying he's related to the spirit of Ceras' 30mm anti-Freak cannon?
And now you know why I nearly fell down laughing the first time her gun was named on the show. (Yeah, I saw the first anime series before I read the manga.)
Which is scariest? Her Harkonnen, Joshua and Jackal (Alucard's guns), Walter's dental floss, Anderson's bayonets, or simply getting on Sir Integra's bad side? :D
Love the tie to Luna Star.
*lol* @alt text, but so true...
PS: does he know how to equip that armor? there is an aweful lot of rustling going on...
Also, this is just a guess but perhaps for stealth's sake he's dressing up as one of those red-suited stormtroopers.
Edit: Now that I'm not on the stupid smart phone, I looked up the page - Ghosts of the past from 8 September 2014.
You have such a rich story here, and I'm really only now beginning to appreciate the skill with which the layers have been woven.
Now we have confirmation. So give catt a gold star. :-)
B: I'm surprised that I'm surprised too!
(gives Catt a gold star)
Either way we'll be mad, but it's always a good idea to know WHAT and WHO you are mad at first!
Best case scenario? Decimus dies with turd in his pants.
Worst case scenarion? Kyle gets another 3 ripper rounds to the chest.
If you ask me it's win-win.
Yeah, true.
If we ever find out how he acts in 20 years we'll determine whether or not he deserves it.
Although I will say, if the nanites are that good, he'll live unless the blood loss gets him.
